Sunday 1st round at 9am is going to be the mineshaft.

Weather system coming across from the west coast looks to hit St. Louis Thursday/Friday. Hoping it moves a different direction and we get three days of optimal conditions.

there are two different windows for the FOX network, the earlier being 2:00-4:00pm est, which i assume will be the actual live broadcast?
while in other regions the broadcast will be shown 4:30-6:30 est. (tape delayed?)..... so nhra has 4 hours to be live with the semis
at 2pm est? (1pm st. louis cst) ..... in our area the mn vikings vs. dolphins is scheduled on FOX network @ 4:05pm est.

It's all right here.

Didn't even look at the Sunday start time but same thing last year, race set a tv viewership record on Fox.

I live 80 miles SE of Madison, IL and both forecasts are similar with chances of rain and t'stms. But the big thing is a weekend cold front going from mid to upper 80's to low 70's just like the last two races. The percentage rain chances forecasted today for the weekend I won't pay attention to in this part of the country until closer to race day.

Looks like 22 TF cars and 19 entries in FC for this weekend, should be a great show!

 

[Paul]

I didn't realize it was starting at 9am on Sunday, no need to spend Sunday night now. Fingers crossed for good weather.

 

[mick]

yes, fingers crossed for weather. crazy so many independents come out for this race.
is this brian inouye's professional debut this weekend in luigi's top fueler?
also charles loftin nhra debut i think this weekend. the loftin effort ran in ihra earlier this year i think?
hope they both do good and don't hurt parts ...... and kyle wurtzel, just keep doing what you were doing in martin

hope it doesn't rain

 

[mick]

predict st. louis will produce first all 3 sec. FC field. throw out vandergriff's anomaly last weekend and there were only two
FC's that missed it. terry haddock and dave richards, please repeat your 3.98's. i can see creasy and bode dipping into 3's,
and i really want blake alexander to qualify too.

Lofton ran IHRA in TF and ran Chaos for years in FC. He also ran his FC at a couple of exhibitions at NHRA national events in the past.

It’s also Josh Hart’s car from last season, so it’s a good/newer chassis.

Hoping Kyle joins the Shawn Reed "Pi$$ing people off club" and continues the great performance from the last outing.
